Baghdad, Iraq – The Iraqi Islamic Dawa Party announced on Saturday its nomination of its Secretary-General, Nouri al-Maliki, for the position of Prime Minister.
This move comes in the wake of the recent parliamentary elections and is expected to significantly intensify competition and disagreements within the Shiite political alliances and forces in Iraq.
The “invitation” move increases tension… Al-Maliki’s nomination threatens to complicate the task of forming the new Iraqi government.
